    Central African Infectious Disease and Epidemics Research Alliance (CAIDERA)

    Alliance de Recherches sur les Maladies Infectieuses et les Epidémies en Afrique Centrale

    Who we are

    The core consortium conducting CAIDERA is composed of the University of Tübingen, the Centre de Recherches Médicale de Lambaréné (CERMEL) and the Pasteur Institute/Institut Pasteur International Network. We propose to structure, conduct and deliver together, a tailored multi-format training and research programme on emerging and re-emerging viral, bacterial and parasitic infectious diseases, centred on the one health concept and with the aim to foster research capacity and collaboration in the predominantly francophone Central African region.

     

    Our objectives

    Specifically, we aim to consolidate our existing internationally recognised strengths in infectious disease research and regional networking and to amplify their impact by establishing a unique in the region, internationally competitive infectious disease M.Sc. programme tailored to the specific capacity building needs of Central African countries. This will be complemented by an interdisciplinary sandwich Ph.D. programme addressing socio- economic, social science, antimicrobial resistance and one health research questions and two massive open online courses (MOOCs) on emerging and re-emerging viral diseases and pandemic preparedness to reach up to 1,000 health care trainees and health care professionals in Central African countries.
